About Me

I am a 42 year old woman that is about as happy and content as one person can be. My husband of 21 years and our 15 year old daughter live on five and a half acres out in the country. We moved from the city four years ago and never looked back. I homeschool our daughter. We also love our animals. Our daughter has a miniature horse and two rabbits. We also have a border collie, two cats (again), two pot belly pigs, four peafowl, three emus, 2 llamas and an undetermined number of chickens, lets just say ohhh about 200. I have many breeds, from layers to fancy chickens. I love poultry shows, I love fowl in general as I have come to find out through having more than just chickens. Chickens will always be my first love though. I do show some of my birds occasionally.

I am so sorry about your loss of your beloved chickens. That was nice of your friend to give you some eggs. Keep in mind that owls and night hawks get chickens at night also. I hope you can get whatever it is that is killing them. If it's a coyoto it probably has pups it is taking the chickens to or there may be more than one. Those things are getting to be numerous. I have a cousin who raises feist dogs for selling for hunting purposes and those things have got several of his dogs and used to kill his calves also when he had cattle. He told me a couple of year ago that he had shot 27 of those things standing on his back deck. I don't know what the count is now. Glad to see you have started another journal. Hugs, Helen

Oh somehow I missed all this going on. So sorry it happened to your chickies. Nice of the lady to give you some eggs to hatch. Glad you have your new journal now and I hope it works out well. Got to remember to put it in my favorites. Don't want to miss a single thing in your chicken life. Paula

Sorry to hear of your loss. What you need to do is smother your chickens in mud. This trick worked for Arnod Schwartzenegger when he was faced with the problem of a predator.http://journals.aol.co.uk/acoward15/andy-the-bastard
